Abstract: The protein elicitor Hrip1 is a novel hypersensitive response-inducing protein secreted by necrotrophic fungus,Alternaria tenuissima,and it induces defense response and enhances broad-spectrum disease resistance in tobacco,Arabidopsis and rice plants. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of Hrip1 inducing plant disease-resistance,we screened its interaction partners from a rice cDNA library using Hrip1 as bait protein and via yeast two hybrid system. After retransformation assay and x-a-gal staining,Hirp1-interacting protein CSN5 was obtained. Then,the recombinant pGEX-6P-2-CSN5 plasmid was constructed and transformed into the chemical competent cells of Escherichia coli BL21. The recombinant fusion protein in a single band was purified with a GST affinity chromatography column,and identified by Western blot. The results provided a base for further identification of the protein interacted with Hrip1 and its functions.
